WEST HAVEN >> A city man was arrested after firing six shots into the air outside his home late Friday, according to police.

Andre Morales, 38, was arrested following a short foot chase after police responded to 22 Eagle Place at about 11:30 p.m., according to Sgt. David Tammaro.

Police had received multiple 911 calls from the area and found Morales outside the home. He denied involvement but then ran from police and was chased down. Six shell casings were found at the scene, Tammaro said in a press release Saturday.

Inside the home, police found a 9mm Ruger registered to Morales, as well as ammunition and Morales’ valid pistol permit. He later admitted he had fired shots into the air outside after arguing with two friends inside the home, police said.

Morales is charged with interfering with police, illegal discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and breach of peace. He was held on bail, police said.
